I Could Easily See Me Pulling My Gun Quicker.” Community Activist Receives Sobering Lesson
bearingarms.com ^ | 2/6/2015 | Bob Owens

Quanell X, the head of Houston’s New Black Panther Party and one of the agitators who has gone after everyone from George Zimmerman to Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, has almost always sided against the police in officer-involved shootings of suspects.

He is now singing a different tune after personally going through “shoot/no shoot” training with the Missouri City Police Department.

X played the role of a law enforcement officer responding to calls in a number of different scenarios, and had to chose whether to use his gun (a realistic training weapon that fires man-marker rounds), a taser, or not to employ any force at all.

I saw the video a few weeks ago.

Hate to say but this enlightenment will last until the next St. Skittles/Gentle Giant comes along.

“My next child will be named _)@$!|^”

Well there is the little girl Down South whose mother named her La-A.

When the school asked the mother how to pronounce the name she said:

“It’s Ladasha, the dash don’t be silent!”

Most folks pay for their own, but I don’t object to it being provided at no cost to some of these “activists” in the interest of having them know more of what they’re talking about instead of spewing uniformed rhetoric.

I think all Americans should be required to participate in this training. Would open eyes of a lot of citizens.

This sounds like Will Smith’s shoot/don’t shoot scene from Men in Black.

Believe it or not, there was a time when Quanell's head wasn't pear-shaped.

But it was a while back...maybe 20 years.

Nowadays, it looks like Quanell is eating no less than five meals a day. So I guess the race hustler bizness is doing pretty good by him these days.

He is now singing a different tune...

Bullshit.

He's a virulent "hate whitey" racist, a thug and a loudmouthed POS.

And he always will be.

The dude needs to lay off the Twinkies and get a pair of running shoes.

If you get a chance to train with Andy Stanford, do so. I retunred from a run at Silver Mine Subs just in time to catch a guy jumping over the pickup counter and point a knife at the 18 year old manager.

I pulled out my little J-Frame and cordially invited him to vacate the premises. Brought a knife to a gun fight... He robbed a lot of places, including a liquor store with a 70 year old lady, who was an "at risk" person. That's what got him.

I have had a ccw for nearly 18 yrs. I have pulled my weapon once at an ATM. It went down quick from the time I spotted the goblin, all within a little over a min. Hot june day, late sunday morning and no traffic near bank,, he was on foot and closing on me with long coat and hand inside holding something concealled and he never took hiw eyes off of me. Fortunately the bad guy saw me clear leather and flip the safety off. He stopped dead in his tracks and didn’t twitch a muscle and I got out of there like a flash of lightening. All this happened with my 3 yr old in the back of the truck jabbering the whole time.

X said “We’re gonna’ have to teach the brothers and sisters that when the police tell you ‘Don’t move!’, Don’t move!”

Thank goodness you have only required it once, but even more so that you had it when that one time arose. Especially with your young daughter riding with you.

I personally don't have a CCW, but here in Louisiana you can open carry without a CCW. But I don't even do that. I have guns in the house but I don't take them out with me. No reason other than I just don't. I work from home and live on 5 acres, so I rarely go out anyway, LOL.
